Same here.

Well, it looks as if I erred not picking Vince, on the assumption that he wouldn't do so well since he always seemed to underperform at the top level. Big difference between county and test level.

Still, early days.

I had a double ton, a near double and a couple more hundreds from my top seven bats, so I thought I was doing well. But ZBGB was a no-show again.

may the best man/woman/gender non binary win

I forgot to add 'small person/people' to that

last couple of years I've been itching to get Denly and Mo back into my sides. I got the chance with Denly this year, because England seem to be done with him, and he repaid me by getting out for 1 in a match where everyone scored big runs, and then didn't do anything with the ball either

and they may well do based on recent track record!

If he keeps this up he'll be back in the Eng side soon

So Jackson Bird has pulled out due to injury.....not ideal.

he was only ever going to be around for 6 matches....... although had his 6 matches produced figures of Matt Henry proportions he might have been worth selecting

Oh blimey........

if you haven't got Matt Critchley or Ollie Robinson, look away now............
